Still More footplating shots.............

As there was a KSN freight ahead of us struggling to clear the stretch with some gradient we were stopped at Bhongir. A view of the Bhongir station from the far end of the platform with the train on the through line. |
|
A good side view of the majestic WAP4. Not many WAP4s have undergone a livery change except possibly the ones that haul the Shatabdi. A few WAPs on the SR have now got the ivory-dark blue livery. Notice that, between the region where the front and rear axles are located there is a small fold of the main bogie i.e just below the region where the number is painted. This fold is absent in the newer 223xx WAP4s and its just one straight line. |

Majesty personified !!! A frontal view of the WAP4. U can see the assistant, on the left of the loco, performing his routine checks on the loco. |
|
This snap of the Bhongir Fort was a request from the driver of the loco. It sure is a marvelous sight from the train. Bhongir's original name was "Bhuvanagiri". |
|
All of us have seen the loco on a curve from behind. Now, for a change see the train from the loco on a curve !! Some adventure photography this..... we were doing 100kmph at that time, it gave me a real chill down my spine when i popped out my head with the camera. |
|
hey hey hey !!! how many of u had assumed that this was a snap of the "wonderful" landscape that passed by us on our journey.........did any one of u............ You were partially correct, it was a double purpose photograph. On the far side the landscape was pleasant but did u notice the debris next to the track. This was where the Godavari Express derailed. We were moving at 20kmph here. |
 |
We are almost back to where we started that morning. The Guntur bound Palnad Exp. is getting ready to depart. The orange-blue WDM2 from the Guntakal shed is seen taking charge of the train. |
